There are two common types of grass in the villages, St Augustine and Empire Zoysia.
Easy to tell which is which the Empire Zoysia has finer, narrower blades. Either can make a good lawn. Care is different. "Looks better than mine," Rather simple solution. What is wrong with your lawn and fix the problem. Cooperative extension is a great help and it is free or really paid for with your tax money.

I would cut out a section of grass on the edge of any issue showing good and bad.
They can tell you, first what type of grass you have, what the issue is and what to do about it.
